Is failing to prepare the death call of transformational leadership?

Yes, but not in the manner you may be accustomed to. The planning I’m recommending is the planning for undergoing the individual transformation required to lead the organisational transformation you're looking for - for your personal and professional life.

People at work or in your personal life who have achieved something extraordinary and who live lives known as rewarding and uplifting have a clear and compelling plan for achieving what’s important to them - let's explore in more details.....

From time to time you’ll find that what you’re doing is no longer working. I have worked with technology executives for many years. One of the hardest things they have had to do is leave behind  the  enjoyment of the technical side of their work.

They entered the technology field because of an enjoyment or skill in what they are doing and have become enamoured with the intricacies of their technology. Although loving what you do and being good at it is essential to success at work, they’ve lost sight of the business value technology brings to an organization.

When I suggest they forget their technology and instead focus on the business and economic value to their technology, I’m rewarded with deer-in-the-headlights looks. How do we leave the safe harbour of the known? Let's explore...

Living a purposeful life and not an accidental life - accidental doesn’t mean accidental in the sense  that your leadership and life are mere accidents. But what I find with that with nearly every executive and entrepreneur I’ve ever worked with is that the demands of their work are inhibiting them from designing the leadership and life that allows them to flourish. 

The reality is that your transformational leadership journey will be filled with obstacles and barriers you anticipated as well as those you didn’t - let's look at our options....

HOT Leadership

Every transformational leader wants to do compelling, meaningful great work, and they see their leadership purpose as the starting point for doing this. Yet, they can grind to a halt at a barrier.

Leaders who are successful and satisfied have learned how to address the four most common barriers that inhibit them from accomplishing their purpose. By understanding these leadership barriers, leaders are better prepared to overcome the barriers and lead purposefully rather than accidentally - doing their greatest work.

We continue our exploration of the principle of Perseverance and look at the "Tortoise and the hare" within organisations.

The tortoise represents that part of our work and  professional lives that can only be accomplished with perseverance and a protective outer shell. The destination is clear and in focus, but it comes forward in baby steps. The hare represents the fast-twitch muscles required to get out of the blocks fast, but that cannot be sustained over long periods of time. You need both capabilities but will remain transactional in your benefits if you try and have your workforce do both.

Let's look at exponential growth!

I and my colleagues have found in our coaching and consulting work that when it comes to transformational performance, talent is overrated and perseverance is underestimated. 

Perseverance is prominently displayed in the world of politics, business, and sports. Serena Williams once said about success, “Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.”

The Perseverance Principle asks How badly do I want my purpose? Will I overcome all the obstacles that will surely come? Will I not take no for an answer? Will I look through the fear of failure that will likely show up and be courageous anyway? Let's explore.....

This may be the  shortest podcast in our journey exploring transformational leadership. However, it may have the longest shelf life.

The diary grooming process is an ultra-short (five minute) process of reviewing your day as a transformational leader. It is a process of finding the areas of your leadership that are going well and accentuating them, along with the areas that are not going well and reducing or eliminating them. It's all about optimisation, it's about getting your 'flywheel of life' turning as efficiently as possible and maintaing it at peak health.

Diary grooming/optimisation is similar to dressing for work every day. You remove the clothes worn to bed, shower, and put on clean clothes appropriate for the day ahead. Then stepping forward for your bright new day envigerated...

The 'compliment' to  praising is purification - its purpose is to help us identify areas that are negatively impacting performance while building our credibility as leaders. Purification is about removing obstacles and barriers to higher performance, both for the leader as well as for your  Team and  colleagues.
 
Transformational leaders isolate one or two harmful beliefs or behaviours and work to eliminate or remove them.

Praise will act as a catalyst for even higher levels of success when three praise aspects are present. Stakeholders know if a leader is paying attention to what they’re doing and sincere praise creates a positive feedback loop in which what gets noticed and rewarded gets magnified. 

The three aspects are:

1. sincerity
2. timeliness and
3. specificity
